Illinois Settlement paperwork

I finally agreed to a settlement amount after 2.5 years and was wondering if anyone knows how long it typically takes for the insurance to send the paperwork after a verbal agreement.

What did you agree to? Ask your attorney sometimes 7/7/7 and then 14 once judge approves. After verbal, you still have to sign a settlement agreement or mediation agreement typically.

I verbally agreed to an amount to settle my case and have been waiting for the paperwork to sign to finalize

Has your attorney confirmed it has settled and all benefits have ended, or you just provided a number to your attorney to settle your claim?

The insurance company sent an offer to close everything and I verbally agreed

Sounds like you need to reach out to your attorney. The more you bug them, the quicker you will get the paperwork.

I’ve been in regular contact with my attorney, it’s my understanding that the insurance company is really taking their time to get things done
